This is a unique opportunity to put Dorset’s needs across – let’s not waste it! If only we could:

a)Be folded under one BBC region to focus resources on to the County as a whole (instead of piece meal from three BBC Regions)

b)Receive proper coverage of local news and events of all of Dorset - right across Dorset
